Sunday Afternoon Parlor Memories in Lincoln Parish
In a Saturday Evening Post reminiscence from Leroy Lincoln, a chapel organ breathes a wintry hymn as old and young recall boyhood. The scene shifts from parlor to chapel, with dim lamplight, portraits, dustless shells, and familiar voices singing sacred songs that echo through time. The night wind outside brushes the memory of Sunday rituals and the enduring glow of family hymnody.
